ASV

22. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 23. All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify.

24. Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbor's good.

  1. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience' sake; 26. for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. (1 Corinthians 10:22-26, ASV)
WEB

22. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? 23. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

24. Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.

  1. Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience, 26. for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.” (1 Corinthians 10:22-26, WEB)
KJV

22. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 23. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

YLT

22. do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He? 23. All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;

24. let no one seek his own, but each another's.

  1. Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience, 26. for the Lord's [is] the earth, and its fulness; (1 Corinthians 10:22-26, YLT)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

  • ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
  • WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
  • KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
  • YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
